Here is one link on the subject: http://www.wikihow.com/Treat-Road-Rash
Bottom line to this Marine and
former Scout: seek advice from an advisor, like a doctor, nurse, medic, corpsman,
EMS tech, or whomever you trust.
In the meantime, and especially if
the wound is "oozing", just dry it out as best you can and let the
body heal itself. Now that advice is easy to give and often hard to achieve.
For example, any kind of clean cloth is not a bad way to start. Also try using
simple vinegar or hydrogen peroxide (5% common store bought is fine) if that
seems like a good try.
The advice in the link is also OK to
me.
Here is one more wiki link on wound
healing in general: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wound_healing
Last, if the wound does not clear up
in a day or so, then plan on a longer period of time, like a week or so. A good
sign usually is if the oozing wound begins to scab up to heal itself better.
